Home theater sound goes vertical

Raise your home theater's sound to the roof...or at least the ceiling. Add overhead sound with the Onkyo TX-NR1030 home theater receiver and Dolby Atmos®. This ground-breaking surround sound technology makes movie soundtracks more lifelike and immersive. Equipped with a nine-channel amplifier, this receiver offers lots of options for Dolby Atmos setups, conventional five-, seven-, or nine-channel systems, or a multi-zone system to power speakers in as many as three room. Built like a tank, the 'NR1030 is optimized to make all your music and movie soundtracks explode with realism and detail.

Prepare for liftoff with Dolby Atmos

Fasten your seat belt, sit back, and hold on: Dolby Atmos is about to take your home theater experience to thrilling new heights. The TX-NR1030 has connections for one or two pairs of in-ceiling speakers or Atmos enabled upward-firing speakers that reflect sound off your ceiling. Dolby Atmos processing uses these "height" speakers in conjunction with a conventional surround-sound setup to place sounds in your listening area with incredibly accuracy and an almost 3D audio effect. Plus, it's great for overhead effects that increase the height of your system's soundstage, enveloping your whole room in spine-tingling sound.

The TX-NR1030 offers multiple setup options for Dolby Atmos. For instance, you can add two overhead or up-firing speakers to a conventional seven-channel system — this is referred to as a 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup. Here's a breakdown of all the Dolby Atmos speaker configurations this receiver supports:

5.1.4 - five conventional surround speakers, one powered subwoofer, and four overhead or height speakers

5.1.2 - five conventional surround speakers, one powered subwoofer, and two overhead or height speakers

You can use as many as four subwoofers with any of these configurations.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth offer lots of music choices

Music is increasingly delivered from sources other than shiny discs. Smartphones, tablets, computers, Internet radio, and subscription services offer a wealth of listening options. You can take advantage of all of them with the TX-NR1030. Stream music from smartphones and tablets over Bluetooth, to play audio from any app through your home theater speakers. If you have a digital music library stored on a networked PC or storage drive, Wi-Fi lets you play those tunes over your home network. There's also built-in support for Spotify®, Pandora® Internet radio, SiriusXM, and free Internet radio streams via TuneIn radio. With so many choices, you'll never have trouble finding something to listen to. Plus, Onkyo's Music Optimizer helps flesh out the sound of compressed files and Bluetooth streams.

Listen to music from online music services using Onkyo's free remote app for Apple and Android smartphones.

Emphasis on sound

The 'NR1030 is about more than just convenience and versatility. Onkyo has always put a premium on sound quality. This receiver features their Wide Range Amplifier Technology, which provides plenty of current to ensure smooth sound even during large swings in dynamics. This reduces distortion while ensuring music and movie soundtracks have plenty of punch. THX® certification means you'll get reference-quality sound for movies, even when you need to crank up the volume to fill a large room. If you've downloaded high-resolution music from sites like HDtracks, you'll appreciate this receiver's ability to decode high-res files like FLAC, WAV, Apple Lossless, and DSD. Or kick it old school by connecting your turntable and enabling Pure Direct Analog Path to turn off all digital circuitry for top-shelf analog playback.

Multi-room audio and video

If you'd like to add speakers to an adjoining bedroom, kitchen, or porch, you can plan ahead with the TX-NR1030. Powered outputs for Zones 2 and 3 let you use as many as four of the receiver's amplifier channels to drive additional sets of speakers in other rooms. Two of the HDMI outputs operate independently, so you can even watch different video content on a second TV. While the kids enjoy a Blu-ray movie in the home theater, you can catch the ballgame on cable in the bedroom. When feeding a second TV via Zone 2 HDMI, you can use the TV's speakers — or for better sound, consider hooking up your old receiver to some additional speakers in that second room. The 'NR1030 also has line-level Zone 3 outputs for even more multi-room flexibility.

Simple setup and control

The tiny microphone that's included with the TX-NR1030 is your key to properly calibrated home theater sound. Plug it into the front of the receiver, and let Onkyo's AccuEQ optimize your system for your room and speaker setup. This ensures you'll get the best possible sound in your room, even if its odd layout forces you to place speakers in less than ideal locations. Before you start exploring this receiver's features, be sure to download the Onkyo remote app to your Apple® or Android™ smartphone. It offers easy control of the receiver's most important functions, as well as giving you instant access to Internet radio and other online music choices.

WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology): WRAT is based
around a low negative-feedback circuit topology that works to reduce signal
noise and distortion across the frequency range. A "closed ground-loop
circuit" design is employed, in which each circuit has a separate link to
the power supply. This helps to cancel individual circuit noise and keep the
ground potential free of distortion. High Instantaneous Current Capability (HICC)
enables WRAT amplifiers to immediately cancel the speakers' reflex energy
and instantaneously send out the next signal. The same high current better
manages speaker impedance fluctuations, which can negatively affect
performance.

Independent H.C.P.S. (High Current Power Supply): Under
the anti-resonant cover of any Onkyo receiver, you'll instantly notice the
High Current Power Supply (H.C.P.S.) transformers. The Onkyo TX-NR1030
features two independent H.C.P.S (high current power supply) for the
amplifier and the audio/video circuitry. With its huge, isolated power
supply design and high-capacity filter capacitors, it delivers the large
amounts of power necessary for reproducing the wide dynamics of movie
soundtracks and the detail and clarity of your music

Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry: Optimum Gain Volume
Circuitry adjusts the gain so that less than half the amount of attenuation
is needed, ensuring the signal never comes close to the noise floor. This
protects the signal against noise, resulting in a dramatically clearer
sound.

Amplifier Assignment: The Onkyo AV receiver's 9-channel amplifier can
be configured in a number ways to match your type of speaker setup.

9-Channel + 2ch Pre-Out: Assigns all nine internal amplifiers to the
receiver's main zone to power the Front, Center, Surround, Surround Back
speaker, and Front Height speakers while an external amplifier is used to
power Front Wide speakers; creating a 11ch speaker system.

9-Channel Normal: Assigns all nine internal amplifiers to the
receiver's main zone to power the Front, Center, Surround, Surround Back
speaker, and Front Height or Front Wide speakers.

7-Channel Bi-Amp: Assigns all nine amplifiers of the receiver to
the Main Zone with the front speakers bi-amped. The 7ch speaker system will
consist of Front, Center, Surround, and Surround Back or Front Height
speakers.

7-Channel + Zone 2: The nine amplifier channels of the receiver
are assigned to power a 7ch speaker system in the main zone and stereo
speakers in Zone 2. The 7ch speaker system in the main zone will consist of
Front, Center, Surround, and Surround Back; while Zone 2 consists of stereo
speakers.

5-Channel Bi-Amp + Zone 2: Assigns seven amplifiers of the
receiver to the Main Zone with the front speakers bi-amped, while two other
amplifier channels are assigned to Zone 2. The 5ch speaker system in the
main zone will consist of Front, Center, and Surround speakers; while Zone
consists of stereo speakers.

5-Channel + Zone 2-3: The nine amplifier channels of the receiver
are assigned to power a 5ch speaker system in the main zone and stereo
speakers in Zone 2 and Zone 3. The 5ch speaker system in the main zone will
consist of Front, Center, and Surround speakers; while Zone 2 and Zone 3
each consist of stereo speakers.

AccuEQ Room Calibration: Calibrating the sound to
suit your room's acoustics is simple with Onkyo's AccuEQ auto-room
calibration. Once you've connected your speakers, plug-in the included
mic and wait a few moments as the TX-NR1030 measures things such as
speaker distance, type, crossover, and output, taking into account any
reflections from your walls and floor. The system is designed
specifically to by-pass your front left and right speakers. The system
then optimizes the frequency response of the remaining speakers so you
can enjoy balanced surround sound regardless of room shape or furnishing
while retaining the characteristics of your front left and right
speakers for optimum enjoyment

Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can
only be selected if your audio source is connected to the A/V
receiver via a digital audio connection (HDMI, optical, or coaxial).
To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound,
the receiver must be connected to your Blu-ray player via HDMI.

Dolby Atmos: With
Dolby Atmos, sound comes alive from all directions, including
overhead, to fill the home theater with astonishing clarity, power,
detail, and depth. The Onkyo receiver has the processing power to run a
more enveloping 7ch, 9ch or 11ch channel Dolby Atmos layout using 5.2.2,
5.2.4, 7.2.2, or 7.2.4* configurations utilizing ceiling mounted or
Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. A 5.2.2 or 5.2.4 speaker configuration is
based upon a traditional 5.2 speaker layout complemented by 2 or 4
overhead or Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. A 7.2.2 or 7.2.4 configuration
is based on a 7.2 speaker layout with either 2 or 4 overhead or Dolby
Atmos-enabled speakers (a *7.2.4 configuration will require an external
stereo amplifier).

Ceiling Mounted Speakers: Ceiling speakers are used for
maximizing effects in Dolby Atmos listening mode. Install these speakers
midway between the position just above the listening position and the
position just above the front speakers, or simply install them just above
the listening position.

Dolby Enabled Speakers: There are two types of Dolby
Enabled Speakers; one is to be placed on the top board of other
speakers such as front speakers and surround speakers; the other is
integrated within the front or surround speakers. Dolby Enabled Speakers are
designed with their output facing toward the ceiling to create an elevated
audio effect in the Dolby Atmos mode by providing sounds echoing off the
ceiling.

Note: Globally, more than 100 cinema blockbusters have been
released featuring Dolby Atmos soundtracks in the past two years, and many
more are on the way. Major Hollywood studios are partnering with Dolby to
create home video versions of both current box office releases and
previously released favorites for release starting in 2014

Dolby Surround:
Dolby Surround offers an enhanced cinema experience to your Dolby Digital
(Plus/TrueHD) and DTS (ES/HD) movie soundtracks using your existing 7.1ch or
Dolby Atmos speaker setup. Dolby Surround enhances audio definition by improving
the spatial dimension and overall audio definition of movie soundtracks. It does
this by using four distinct surround zones that provide greater control over the
exact placement of each detail in a movie sound track, so audio can be matched
more accurately to the video on screen; this means more depth and greater
realism for your movies. As a result, individual sounds are clearer and more
distinct. It also improves the surround sound experience across the entire
theater by widening the listening "sweet spot".

THX Select 2 Plus Certified: The TX-NR1030 AV
receiver is
THX Select 2 Plus certified. Founded by George Lucas, THX develops
stringent standards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie theaters
and home theaters just as the director intended. From early design
concepts to product rollout, THX works with its manufacturing partners
at each step of product development. Every detail is meticulously mapped
to the THX performance standards. And THX engineers spend countless
hours testing and analyzing each product for sound quality, usability
and interoperability. The result of this collaborative process is a THX
Certified receiver, amplifier or pre-amplifier designed from the
ground-up to present your favorite movies, music, and games in 5.1ch to
7.1ch surround sound loud and clear at studio reference volumes. THX
Select 2 Plus is specified for rooms where the screen-to-seat viewing
distance is 10-12' and the room volume is 3,000 cubic feet or
greater. Additional features of THX Select 2 Plus certification
includes:

Timbre Matching: The human ear changes our perception of a sound
depending on the direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie
theater, there is an array of surround speakers so that the surround
information is all around you. In a home theater, you may only have two
speakers located to the side of your head. In this case, the Timbre Matching
feature filters the information going to the surround speakers so that they
more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the
front speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and

Adaptive Decorrelation: In a movie theater, a large number of
surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience. If a
home theater only has two sidewall surround speakers, the surround speakers
may sound similar to headphones lacking spaciousness and envelopment.
Surround sounds will also collapse toward the closet speaker as you move
away from the middle seating position. Adaptive Decorrelation slightly
changes one surround channel's time and phase relationship with respect to
the other surround experience as in a movie theater using only two speakers.

Advanced Speaker Array: ASA is a proprietary THX technology which
processes the audio on the two side and two back surround speakers for the
optional surround sound experience. When you set up your home theater system
using eight speaker outputs (Front Left, Center, Front Right, Surround
Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left, and
Subwoofer), be sure to go to the THX Audio Setup screen and choose the
setting that closely corresponds to the back speaker spacing. This will
reoptimize the surround sound field. ASA is used in three modes: -THX
Select2 Cinema, THX Select2 Music and THX Select2 Games.

THX Loudness Plus: THX Loudness Plus compensates for
the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by
intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency
response. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can experience the
rich details in a surround mix at any volume level.

Boundary Gain Compensation: If your listening room layout (for
practical or aesthetic reasons) locates most of the listeners close to the
rear wall, the resulting bass level can be sufficiently reinforced by the
boundary that the overall sound becomes "boomy". THX Select2 Plus receivers
contain a Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC) feature to improve bass balance.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes: Onkyo's Original DSP
Modes, combined with Dolby Digital/DTS/Dolby Pro Logic processing,
produce more realistic, powerful sound effects for your movie and music
sound tracks based on the type of content and your home theater setup.
You can choose from the following:

All Ch Stereo: Stereo sound from all speakers.
Ideal for background music.

Full Mono: All speakers output the same sound
in mono.

Theater-Dimensional (T-D): Theater-Dimensional
circuitry takes the complexity out of conventional surround-sound
setups and lets you experience the excitement of surround sound from
as few as two ordinary speakers. Theater-Dimensional's unique
multi-speaker modes let you place up to five speakers conveniently
by the TV, for the most realistic virtual-surround sound possible.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music Settings: While
listening in the Dolby Pro Logic II Music format, there are three
further enhancements you can adjust; Panorama: (broadens the front
stereo image to the surround speakers to provide a wraparound
effect), Dimension (allows you to move the sound field forward or
backward), and Center Width (allows you to adjust the width of the
center channel).

Center Image: In the Neo:6 Music mode, the
Center Image feature adjusts the output of the left and right
channels relative to the center channel, allowing you to make the
center channel more or less dominant as needed. This improves the
image of the center channel, especially when the listener is
off-center. Adjustment varies from 5 (nothing subtracted from the
L/R channels) to 0 (L/R channel output is cut in half).

Pro Logic IIz Height Gain: The Height Gain
Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables the listener to select how
much gain is applied to the front high speakers. There are three
settings, "Low", "Mid" and "High", and the front high speakers are
accentuated in that order. While "Mid" is the default listening
setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their
personal preference.

Listening Angle: While listening in the Theater
Dimensional mode you can adjust the listening angle to either Wide
(if listening angle is 40°) or Narrow (if listening angle is 20°).

CinemaFilter: Using the CinemaFilter you soften overly
bright movie soundtracks. Movie soundtracks are typically mixed for a large
theater (relative to your home theater) with lots of soft seats and thick
curtains on the walls. Home theater settings often lack these high frequency
absorbing wall treatments, making the soundtrack sound too bright.
CinemaFilter accounts for this and for many movies sounds more natural at
home.

Music Optimizer: The Music Optimizer function enhances
the sound quality of compressed music files. The Music Optimizer function
only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below
48kHz and analog input signals.

Late Night Feature: The Late Night feature limits the
dynamic range of Dolby Digital recordings. Limiting the dynamic range makes
it easier to find a volume that ensures the quiet sounds are not too quiet
and the loud sounds are not too loud for night time listening. This allows
you to comfortably listen to without the need to constantly adjust the
volume to keep from waking family/neighbors. The choices are: Off, Low, and
High. This feature only works with Dolby Digital Encoded software and the
depth of the feature will vary based on the individual software package.

Bass Management: The Onkyo AV receiver offers Tone Control
and Phase Matching Bass technology to get the most bass impact out of your
system.

Tone Controls: You can independently adjust the Bass
(50Hz) and Treble (20kHz) of the TX-NR1030 from -10 to +10 dB.

IntelliVolume: With IntelliVolume, you can set the
input level for each input (+/-12dB) selector individually. This is useful
if one of your source components is louder or quieter than the others. This
function does not work in Zone 2.

Maximum Volume: Use this feature to set the receiver's
maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid turning the volume too
loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume from 30-79 (max), or Off
(disabled).

Power On Volume: Use this feature to set the volume
level when the power is turned on. You can choose between Last (same as the
volume when the unit was turned off), Min (0), or 1-79.

Headphone Level: With this setting, you can specify the
headphone volume (+/-12dB) relative to the main volume. This is useful if
there's a volume difference between your speakers and your headphones.

Assignable Digital Inputs: The Onkyo receiver
is equipped with three optical digital inputs (2 rear/1 front) and three coaxial
digital inputs. All digital inputs are assignable. You can choose auto
decoding , PCM, or DTS for the digital audio inputs. Auto will
decode the signal in its original form (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM,
etc), PCM decodes the signal to 2-channel, while DTS decodes only
DTS formatted sources.

Phono Input: The Onkyo AV receiver is fitted
with a Phono input and ground terminal for connection of a turntable
(MM).

11.4ch Pre Outs: The Onkyo TX-NR1030 features
11.4ch pre-amp outputs (Front, Center, Surround, Back Height 1,
Height 2, and Sub 1-4) for connection of an external power
amplifier. The four parallel sub outputs share the same input signal
and are not discrete. There is also a set of stereo XLR outputs for
the front left & right channels.

Headphones: When headphones are plugged into
the full-size 1/4" jack on the front panel, all the speakers are
automatically muted.

Video Features

8 HDMI Inputs/3 HDMI Outputs: The TX-NR1030 has seven
HDMI inputs (7 rear/1 front) and three HDMI outputs for connecting
Blu-ray/DVD players, Satellite/Cable boxes, Game Consoles, and other
video components to your TV. The front HDMI input is fixed as the Aux
input, while the six rear-panel HDMI inputs are assignable to any of the
other inputs. The two parallel HDMI outputs distribute the same video
signal simultaneously to two separate displays, while the third discrete
HDMI output allows you to play a different audio/video source in another
zone (video is output at the
resolution supported by both TVs). The HDMI jacks can accept and switch 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p,
or 4K video signals to a HDTV. All HDMI jacks will also support
uncompressed standard or high definition digital video along with the
following audio signals; 2-channel linear PCM, Multichannel linear PCM
(up to 7.1ch), and Bitstream (Dolby Digital/DTS, etc.). Additional HDMI
features include -

4K/60Hz + HDCP 2.2 (HDMI 2.0):The All of the
receiver HDMI inputs and outputs are version 2.0 compliant and
support 4K/60Hz with 21:9 display. The HDMI 3 input and main HDMI
monitor output also supports HDCP 2.2 DRM copy protection. By implementing these new HDMI
technologies, the TX-NR1030 will be able to support future 4K
streaming content from internet service providers (like Netflix) and
UHD terrestrial/satellite broadcasts (not yet available).

3D-Ready: All HDMI jacks will accept 3D video from your 3D-ready Blu-ray player
and output the video signal in 3D to your 3D-ready flat-panel
television.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): The receiver's main
HDMI output features ARC (Audio Return Channel). This feature allows
audio to be sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through
the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio and video to
your HDTV. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to
your television. The sub HDMI monitor output does not support this
feature.

Auto Lip-Sync: The Lip-Sync function can
automatically synchronize HDMI audio and video (for any HDMI jack) that has gotten out
of sync due to the complex digital video processing being performed
by your HDMI-compatible TV. With HDMI Lip-Sync, the audio delay
required to synchronize the audio and video is calculated and
applied automatically by the AV receiver.
You can also manually correct the audio delay from 0 (no delay) to
800 milliseconds; in 10 millisecond steps.

Marvel Qdeo Video Chip for 4K Upscaling: The Onkyo
TX-NR1030 utilizes a Marvel Qdeo Video Chip for 4K upscaling and video
processing. The Marvel Qdeo Video Chip produces quiet and natural video,
free from noise and artifacts. Analog component/composite video signals are
converted to HDMI, so you only need one cable to connect the receiver to your
TV. Any video signal from the receiver's component/composite
video inputs and any HDMI video signal can be scaled to a higher
resolution set in the menu. You can set the AV receiver to upscale
analog and HDMI video to 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 4K, Auto
(automatically scaled to the highest resolution supported by the
display), or Through (no scaling). Upconversion and upscaling is only
supported by the main HDMI video output.

MHL-Compatible HDMI Port: The front-panel HDMI input is MHL compatible. This MHL compatible HDMI port provides easy, direct connection
of MHL compatible Android smartphones. Playback of up to 1080p video and

Note: The front-panel HDMI input, along with the receiver's
front-panel USB port can also be used to connect your Lightning or 30-pin
connector Apple iOS device via Apple's
Lightning Digital AV adapter or
30-pin digital AV adapter; you'll also need the USB cable that came with
your Apple iOS device, and a HDMI cable (sold separately). This type of
connection provides "screen mirroring", audio/video playback, and charging
of your Apple iOS device through the Onkyo receiver and your HDMI-connected
TV. All control of your Apple iOS device will be done through its own
touchscreen (not the receiver). See AV adapter links for specific Apple iOS
compatibility.

HDMI Through: When enabling the HDMI Through
function, regardless of whether the AV receiver is "on" or in "standby"
both audio and video streams from an HDMI input will be output to your
television, via the receiver HDMI monitor output. You can select between
3 HDMI Through functions modes.

Last: The HDMI Through function is activated on
the input source selected at the time of setting the AV receiver to
the "standby" mode.

InstaPrevue: InstaPrevue technology provides a live
video thumbnail of the available content on your devices connected to
the receiver via HDMI. As a result, you can preview audio/video streams
coming from up to five HDMI inputs previously assigned to input selectors
on your HDMI connected TV. Even with multiple components connected to
receiver through HDMI, you can easily switch between inputs as their
previews are displayed on a single screen on your television. You can
even use the InstaPrevue feature for Picture-in-Picture. You can specify
the number of preview thumbnails, as well as their positioning
on-screen.

Note: If no video signal are present, the
thumbnails will be filled in black. With 3D video signals, the image
may not be properly rendered on the preview thumbnails of
InstaPrevue.

Analog Video Inputs: The receiver features four
composite video inputs (3 rear/1 front), one composite video monitor
output, and one composite video Zone 2 output which support 480i video

Convenience Features

On-Screen Menu w/ Setup Assistance: The Onkyo AV
receiver offers an on-screen (GUI) menu system through its HDMI output.
The simple on-screen display combines text and graphics that make setup
and other operations extremely easy. The initial setup assistant takes
you step-by-step through speaker configuration, source connection,
remote programming, and network connection. If your TV is connected to
the composite video or component video monitor output, you will need to
use the AV receiver's front-panel display when changing settings.

Note: Initial setup requires that the receiver be connected to
your TV via HDMI for display of the on-screen menu. Many of the receiver's setup
functions can only be found via the on-screen menu and not the front-panel
display.

Multi-Source/Multi-Zone: The TX-NR1030 offers three Zones; a
multi-channel audio/video system in your main listening room (Main Zone), a
stereo audio or video system in a second room (Zone 2), and another stereo audio
only system in a third room (Zone 3).

Zone 2 Speaker- & Line-Level Output (Audio Only): Zone
2 features line-level and speaker audio outputs for playback of a different
analog source in a second room. This way, Zone 2 can be powered by a
separate amplifier (keeping 7.2ch playback in your main room) or by the
TX-NR1030's built-in amplifier (limiting the main room to 5.2ch). When
powering Zone 2 with the receiver's built-in amplifier, listening modes that
require surround back or front high/wide speakers are unavailable. You
cannot power Zone 2 with the receiver's built-in amplifier, if you are bi-amping
your front speakers. The volume of Zone 2 can be controlled from the
receiver when using the speaker outputs or line-level outputs, and from your
add-on integrated amp when using the line-level outputs.

Zone 2 HDMI Output (Audio/Video): The Onkyo receiver
also provides a Zone 2 HDMI output, so two different HDMI audio/video feeds
can be sent to two different displays at the same time directly from the
receiver (HDMI 1-4/Aux connected input sources only). HDMI Zone 2 will
output up to 4K video and 2-channel audio for the HDMI input source
selected.

Zone 3 (Audio Only): Zone 3 allows playback of a
separate analog source in 2-channel stereo in a third room of your home.
Zone 3 features line-level outputs only. This way, Zone 3 can be powered by
a separate integrated amplifier (keeping 7.2ch playback in your main room).
The volume of Zone 3 can be controlled by the AV receiver or your separate
integrated amp's remote.

Notes:As for etwork, USB, and Bluetooth sources;
you cannot select different inputs for the main room and Zone 2/3. For
example, if a Network source been selected in the main room and then a USB
is selected as playback source in Zone 2/3, the input in the main room will
also change to the USB source. When listening to AM/FM radio, you cannot
select different stations for the main room and Zone 2/3.

Whole House Mode: The Whole House Mode is useful when you
want to simply add extra background music to your home party. This mode allows
you to enjoy the same stereo music as the main room in separate rooms (Zone
2/3). The Whole House Mode selects the same input source for Zone 2/3 as the
main room. During the Whole House Mode, stereo playback is automatically
selected for all zones. The Main Zone & Zone 2/3 will play at the same volume
level.

Name Edit: You can enter a custom name for each
individual input selector and radio preset for easy identification. When
entered, the custom name will appear on the display. This function
cannot be used for the AM/FM, Network, USB, and Bluetooth input selectors.

Display Dimmer + Screen Saver: The display
brightness has three settings; Dim, Dimmer, and Normal. If there is no
video signal on the current input source and no operation for a specific
time, a screen saver automatically comes on. You can set the time
(3min/5min/10min/off) until the screen saver activates itself. Once
active, the screen saver will go off and the screen will return to its
previous state if the AV receiver is operated in any way.

Timers: The receiver features a programmable Sleep Timer and
Auto Standby function.

Auto Standby: The AV receiver will automatically go
into Standby mode, if there is no operation for 20 minutes with no
audio/video signal input.

Sleep Timer: From the remote, you can set the unit to
automatically turn off after as much as 90 minutes or as little as 10
minutes; choices are presented in 10 minute increments.

Hybrid Standby: The Onkyo TX-NR1030 features "Hybrid
Standby" mode to save energy and provide greater levels of convenience.
Hybrid Standby Mode provides "HDMI through" functionality and maintains
a local network connection while the receiver is essentially powered
down. This allows the user to watch TV without turning the whole
surround system on. Furthermore, when on Hybrid Standby, the home
theater may be powered up from "cold" using the Remote Apps for Apple
iOS and Android.

Bluetooth + Remote Control

Built-in Bluetooth: The Onkyo TX-NR1030 features

Bluetooth-enabled Apple device, Android smartphone/tablet, portable
audio player, laptop, or PC to the Onkyo receiver. You will also be able
to control basic playback functions (Play/Pause, FF/RW, Skip) using the
receiver's remote control. Advanced music operation will still need to
be handled from your Bluetooth-enable device. There is no song/artist
information display on the receiver or connected TV; continue to use
your Bluetooth device's screen to view song/artist info.

Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some
Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may
not support all features when used with the Onkyo receiver.

Onkyo Remote App (for Apple iOS & Android): The Onkyo Remote

wireless remote is a multibrand/learning remote control. The remote is
pre-programmed to operate popular brands of equipment including DVD players, DVD
recorders, Blu-ray players, VCRs, TVs, Cable boxes and Satellite receivers.
Also, the remote can learn up to 32 commands from infrared remotes of other
components. You can sequentially operate Onkyo components via simple commands
from a single-button press, using the included IR remote control. There are four
Activities buttons (My Movie/My TV/My Music/All Off) that can be programmed to
perform a sequence of commands with just one button press; each macro button can
perform up to 32 commands.

HDMI-Control: HDMI Control allows HDMI-CEC compatible
